Rich Felker dc031ee0b1 add rcrt1 start file for fully static-linked PIE
static-linked PIE files need startup code to relocate themselves, much
like the dynamic linker does. rcrt1.c reuses the code in dlstart.c,
stage 1 of the dynamic linker, which in turn reuses crt_arch.h, to
achieve static PIE with no new code. only relative relocations are
supported.

existing toolchains that don't yet support static PIE directly can be
repurposed by passing "-shared -Wl,-Bstatic -Wl,-Bsymbolic" instead of
"-static -pie" and substituting rcrt1.o in place of crt1.o.

all libraries being linked must be built as PIC/PIE; TEXTRELs are not
supported at this time.

    musl libc

musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.

The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.

For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
the project website:
